I never finished it but I did like what I played of it. I really thought the fact that you could just sit stuff down anywhere and pick it up later instead of having to deal with the stupid storage boxes was rad. I wish other games in the series adopted that.
I still need to pick up the re-release of the HD Remake. I heard they gave you your choice of tank controls and a more smoothed out system for modern gamers, so I expect the same with this. Not surprised this is happening with how well the other one did. Go Rebecca!
